One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the
Snowden archive is how western intelligence agencies are attempting to
manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of
deception and reputation-destruction. It’s time to tell a chunk of that
story, complete with the relevant documents.

By publishing these stories one by one, our NBC reporting highlighted
some of the key, discrete revelations: the monitoring of YouTube and
Blogger, the targeting of Anonymous with the very same DDoS attacks they
accuse “hacktivists” of using, the use of “honey traps” (luring people
into compromising situations using sex) and destructive viruses. But,
here, I want to focus and elaborate on the overarching point revealed by
all of these documents: namely, that these agencies are attempting to
control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse, and in doing
so, are compromising the integrity of the internet itself.

If the modern historical narrative is to be believed, then the
antebellum North was the happy land of butterflies, flowers, rainbows,
and racist free Americans who insisted on racial equality. Only in the
South did anyone encounter “Apostles of Racism” as the historian Charles
Dew labeled the 1861 Confederate commissioners to other Southern
States. But was this so? Would antebellum Southerners have had to
convince the majority of antebellum Northerners about their racial
positions? Let’s see. Printed below are a small sample of the racial
positions of several prominent Americans in the 1850s and 1860s.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, an
organization that has been linked in a federal courtroom to a domestic
terror attack, now has added pro-life activists to its expanding list of
targets, smearing the citizen journalists who are exposing Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby body parts as “extremists.”

In a post
on its ominously titled blog “Hatewatch,” SPLC’s Mark Potok complained
the group “behind the recent spate of undercover videos accusing Planned
Parenthood of illegally selling ‘body parts from aborted fetuses’ is
tightly linked to some of the country’s hardest-line anti-abortion
extremists.”

Potok suggested Newman implicitly supports violence against abortion
providers and highlights Sullenger’s conviction in 1988 for providing
logistical support in a conspiracy to bomb an abortion clinic.

But Sullenger fired back, arguing the Southern Poverty Law Center was
misrepresenting her record and Newman’s record as well as trying to
change the subject away from Planned Parenthood’s misconduct.

For 150 years the American Lincoln cult denied what it called a “rumor”
that, after a string of devastating battlefield defeats, Abraham Lincoln
in 1862 offered command of the U.S. Army to an Italian mercenary named
Giuseppe Garibaldi. The “rumor” was proven to be true, however, when an
Italian historian named Arrigo Petacco discovered in an Italian archive
a faded letter from Garibaldi to King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy,
telling the king of the offer (See Rory Carroll, “Garibaldi Asked by Lincoln to Run Army”).

Due to military activities, the TCAS and ADS-B surveillance may be
unreliable in the airspace over Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and extending approximately 200 nautical
miles offshore, from 1 a.m. EDT (0500z) Sept. 2 until midnight EDT
(0459z) on Oct. 1.

Pilots are advised that the traffic alert and TCAS may fail to
establish tracks on nearby aircraft and may fail to receive traffic
alerts (TA) or resolution advisories (RA). Operators should be aware
that tracks may first appear within close proximity to their aircraft,
and may immediately go into TA/RA status.

Merkel said she will set no limits in how many they will accept. Treason

The German government has proven themselves to be the biggest joke. They
have not listened to a large segment of their population who do not
want these foreign invaders from the Middle East living among them. The
government has further agitated the problem by building facilities for
the foreign invaders in places like Dresden where enormous marches
protesting the Islamification of Europe have taken place.

Speaker Rep. John Boehner ’s worst nightmare is on the rise here in rural North Carolina. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) 96% is gaining steam as a clearly coordinated, highly orchestrated effort to remove Boehner as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives—and fix a broken Congress that no longer represents the wishes of the American people—comes into much clearer focus.

Meadows invited Breitbart News to accompany him on a district visit, and the concerns he discussed with his constituents offer a microcosm of the issues America wants Congress to address. Everyone here agrees: John Boehner needs to go as Speaker of the House, and Mark Meadows is doing something about that.

My nephew's son, Will Overman, walked the Appalachian Trial, then wrote and sang this song.

Will Overman, of the
Will Overman Band, took the stage at Fridays After Five Friday night.
He's young, only a third-year at UVa, but he has a maturity to his sound and drive that is nothing short of impressive.

Overman is a musician but he's also clear that he's a Virginian. His music is rooted in the Commonwealth, and he says he draws inspiration from a state he says is second to none.
"I'm a Virginian, and all that we do and write and sing and pull from emotionally is very rooted in Virginia and rural Virginia and the mountains of this beautiful state," Overman says.

In
2013, more than 200,000 people on net fled states with Democrat
governors for ones run by Republicans, according to an analysis of newly released IRS databy Americans for Tax Reform.

As the migrant-train standoff entered
its second day in Hungary, with thousands of mostly Syrian refugees
seeking passage to Germany, it’s time the West recognized this shift in
Muslim populations for what it is, say American activists who have been
warning of a “fifth column” for years.

Hijrah is the Islamic doctrine of migration, which is a form of stealth jihad.

“To emigrate in the cause of Allah – that is, to move to a new land
in order to bring Islam there, is considered in Islam to be a highly
meritorious act,” Spencer wrote. He cited the following Quranic text:

A paper on where and how criminals obtain guns has been published in
"Preventive Medicine" a rather peculiar place to publish a paper on the
criminology of gun use. Other than the apparent desire to medicalize
crime that involves guns, the paper is reasonably well done, with some
good information that reinforces much of what we already knew.

A minor complaint is that the authors seem nearly as ignorant about guns
as the criminals that they interview. They use the terms "assault
weapon" and "machine pistol" without any definition, and little
knowledge. Here are the quotes.

Twenty five years ago this year Ken Burns launched his supposedly
epic series entitled “The Civil War.” One thing you have to understand
about Mr. Burns going in, he is a modern day radical abolitionist. That
is his mindset. Oh, he feigns objectivity but a quick look at his work
will show you that he is anything but objective.

His original “Civil War” series lasted several nights on prime time
television and to be sure I got it all I sat through the entire thing.
Supposedly it took Mr. Burns five years of research and a ton of
Rockefeller money, all to discover that, guess what, the war was really
all about slavery! What a surprise! Knowing at least part of his funding
sources could anyone who has followed any of this think his conclusions
would be any different.

Residents of upstate South Carolina
have fought hard to stop an unwanted infusion of Third World refugees –
including some from the jihadist hotbed of Syria – into their community.

Since finding out in March about the federal government’s plans to
send an initial batch of 60 refugees to Spartanburg County, they have
appealed to their Republican congressman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, their
Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, and their Republican-dominated local county
council – looking for help.

All of those GOP strongholds have let them down, they say, as a
Christian aid group, World Relief, has already dropped off 25 refugees,
straight from the United Nations camps in Africa and the Middle East.

But one local resident, Michelle Wiles, isn’t taking no for an answer.

Thanks to the marvels of the Web, it was possible to track the plane's flights in real time by entering the tail number into FlightAware,
a free flight-tracking service. That is, until Wednesday, when the
notice "this aircraft not available for public tracking per request from
owner/operator" appeared on the website.

Sung at the end of commencement each year at Greenbrier. I can feel the heat, smell the hot wool pants as well as the polished wooden floors in the auditorium.

God of our fathers, known of old—
Lord of our far-flung battle line—
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

The tumult and the shouting dies—
The Captains and the Kings depart—
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

Far-called our navies melt away—
On dune and headland sinks the fire—
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe—
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the Law—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard—
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard.
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord!

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

==============================My sixth great grandfather, his wife, and five of his six children were killed in battle with the Tuscarora Indians at Core Creek, NC.

The Seven Blackbirds

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
